Special Screening: THE WOMAN OF STARS AND MOUNTAINS
Wednesday, March 18 Only!
Rita, an indigenous woman from Mexico, left her Tarahumara mountain community in northern Mexico and embarked on a journey to Kansas. There, she was involuntarily detained and confined in a psychiatric hospital for 12 years because the hospital authorities could not ascertain her identity, origins, or the language she spoke. Upon the discovery of the truth, Rita returned to her community and her niece, Juanita, who cared for her. THE WOMAN OF STARS AND MOUNTAINS presents a moving portrait of Rita and explores the multiple forms of racism and discrimination that indigenous women face.
A panel discussion and Q&A with Santiago Esteinou (Writer and Producer), Francisco G. Gómez (Co-Founder and Music Director of Raíces Cultural Center), Nicole Wines (Co-Founder and Director of Programming, Communications and Technology of Raíces Cultural Center), moderated by Karin Jervert (Mad In the World Liaison from Mad In America Foundation) follows the screening.
Presented in Partnership with MAD in America.
